As usual, user are not making them paying the price for being badly treated. Software companies do this because they can get away with it, that's it. Even on HN many people can't be arse to use Firefox, how could we expect anyone to avoid giants like Microsoft?

Sadly Firefox has been utter garbage for me the last few months, routinely hangs for me on 3 different machines across two different OSes. Running out of options these days

    I work across 5+ desktops (phy and vm) over the course of the day, 3 running multiple Ffx instances + forks. I support and maintain several dozen more Ffx installs for clients. Mostly because Firefox is the most capable (ex:containers) and trustworthy of my browser options. Of the few problems I have, some are due to my unconventional setups - like the one I'm typing on now. It's a remote app, running on a vm w/ a copy of a profile storing logins. I presently don't have any Ffx issues pending. Ironing them out took less time and energy than posting a rant about it.

      I'm not doing anything weird and nothing in my setups changed, it all started after a recent Firefox update. I've been trying unsuccessfully to resolve the issue for weeks. Just because other people aren't having problems doesn't mean I'm lying about my experience or that my comments need downvotes. I love Firefox and only mention anything out of anxiety that enshittification is coming for it, too.

        There are always forks. I run Waterfox and Floorp concurrent with Ffx and Nightly to help segment my browsing. The one annoying thing with forks is they don't import from Firefox - it's anything but. Ffx profiles have to be manually brought over. It's so dumb.

  Sounds like an extension acting up. Haven't noticed any issues on my devices.
